Did one of the far left's Proposition's pass during the last election? In any state?
I thought it was Zero. The left lost all their pet races that mattered... indicating what? The country is conservative on the whole.

Obama is a one time, trick pony.
The most inexperienced President we've had who has some laughably bad connections that would have sent any other candidate packing in Iowa.

But hey! He's yours.

To think, you folks had the Republicans in a corner only a few weeks ago, and the leadership of the party Obama, Pelosi and Reid shat on them so bad they have been able to raise the middle finger to Obama... and actually start fighting.

Their blunders, heavy handedness and Marxist/Stalinist ideology made it easy for Gregg to step down.

Marxist for the economy.
Stalinist for their treatment of the opposition. For those of you who have missed the news... Obama... the President... telling people who they should and shouldn't listen to is Stalinist. And the censorship doctrine they'll try to push through is nothing short of Stalinist.

Re: Gregg withdraws as commerce secretary nominee

I see nothing here that does anything to dissuade me from what I've always thought: extreme partisan conservatives and extreme partisan liberals alike need to be wiped off the face of the earth. Perhaps then all of the stupidity, the political gridlock, the finger pointing, the vengeance, and the political hackery that makes each side look idiotic would stop. Perhaps then America could be "one nation under God". Of course there are too many that are invested in anger, hate, and proving the other guy is wrong rather than looking at progress or solutions, or actually looking past their own partisan hackery to see anything.

This is what I hate about politics the most, it turns people in snobbish egotistical self righteous dicks who allow their political beliefs, partisan attitudes, and 'us vs. them' mentality, to force them to deny reality.

Once again, your facts are wrong. I'm not sure what election you watched but, in the one that I watched Obama garnered 7.2% more popular votes than McCain. To get 7.2% simply subtract McCain's 45.7% from Obama's 52.9%.

LOL.
Are you Rodney King?
"Can't we all just get along?"

Are you asking for the extermination of the Democrat Party?
It sounds like it to me.
For they hold the key to stopping the stupidity. When they stop lying about who they are during elections, when they run honest campaigns... then we might have some progress... but the truth is a difficult row to hoe for the socialist... because it fails miserably in America when honestly put up for a vote.

Tell me...
How do you stop the onward march of socialism destroying what was a perfectly good foundation for a country?
Let the socialist have their way little by little until it's vanished?
That's what's happening, except now at a rapid clip.
Hamilton, Franklin, Jefferson... replaced by Marx, Engels and Lenin. Or Schroeder, Gysi and LaFontaine.

Either you are right or you're wrong.
There are fundamental truths formed through thousands of years of civilization.
There is a perfectly good historical record on how to proceed, and the Founding Fathers did a good job setting a foundation for the nation using it. Socialism has proven deficient in providing the greatest good to the greatest number over the longest period of time.

But let's all get along.
For the good of the country.
So we can really get things done.
For the good of the country.

Ding, ding, ding!
Wake up call.
Sorry, the country wasn't set up that way.
It was set up for slow motion and tough political battles.
Where sheep get slaughtered.

More hyperpartisan bs. Extremist from both sides, IMO, need to be eliminated. Of course, those extremists are too set in their ways and too closedminded to see themselves as extremists, so I doubt this will occur.

No Rodney, it's people who believe they can give a little bit away of their soul on a daily basis are the problem.

People not willing to defend what is right.
Defending truth vigorously is not part of the problem...
and...
for the record...

If I am such a closed minded individual, I guess you would have found me open minded when I was a young and very naive socialist?

How can I be closed minded after making a 180 degree change? When I've studied and come to believe deeply in what the Founders set up?

What is extreme?
A tax code that follows the Commi manifesto?
Socialist redistribution of wealth on a massive scale?
The constant pursuit of socialized medicine?
The manner which Socialists demonize companies for making profits?

You seem to enjoy socialism.
I've lived in too many societies where it has been the political base.
It's awful, and that it fails to provide any long term good need be taught to the ignorant... of which there are many.
Until then socialists and ignoramuses will have a chance to rule and ruin the country.
